NASA Brings Scientists & Theologians Together To Prepare World For Extraterrestrial Contact

A couple of
months ago top US astronomers gathered in front of Congress to let them know
that extraterrestrial life exists – without question. They cited the sheer size
of the universe as their most important proof, emphasizing that there are
trillions of stars out there, with one in every five most likely harbouring an
Earth-like planet (though it is important to keep in mind that planets do not
have to be “Earth-like” in order to harbour life). You can read more about that
story here.

“The
number of habitable worlds in our galaxy is certainly in the tens of billions,
minimum, and we haven’t even talked about the moons. And the number of galaxies
we can see, other than our own, is about 100 billion.” – Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at
California’s SETI Institute (source)

This time,
NASA and the Library of Congress have teamed up to bring together
scientists, theologians, philosophers and historians from around the globe for
a two day symposium in order to discuss how to prepare the world for
extraterrestrial contact, whether it be microbial organisms or intelligent
beings.

“We’re
looking at all scenarios about finding life. If you find microbes, that’s one
thing. If you find intelligence, it’s another. And if they communicate, it’s
something else, and depending on what they say, it’s something else! The idea
is not to wait until we make a discovery, but to try and prepare the public for
what the implications might be when such a discovery is made. I think the
reason that NASA is backing this is because of all the recent activity in the
discovery of exoplanets and the advances in astrobiology in general. People
just consider it much more likely now that we’re going to find something —
probably microbes first and maybe intelligence later. The driving force behind
this is from a scientific point of view that it seems much more likely now that
we are going to find life at some point in the future.” – Astronomer, symposium organizer and
former chief NASA historian, Steven J. Dick. (source)

One of the
theologians present was Brother Guy Consolmagno, who is the new president of
the Vatican Observatory Foundation. This is what he had to say:

“I
believe [alien life exists], but I have no evidence. I would be really excited
and it would make my understanding of my religion deeper and richer in ways
that I can’t even predict yet, which is why it would be so exciting.” (source)

He is
urging the public not to be surprised when extraterrestrial life is discovered,
because it is inevitably going to happen. He even said that he would be happy
to baptize them, if it’s intelligent extraterrestrial life that’s discovered.
The Vatican has been very open to the idea of intelligent extraterrestrial
life, and they’ve expressed these views for a very long time.

Earth is
not the center of the universe, it’s not flat, and it’s looking very likely
that the next major, paradigm-shifting revelation will be the fact that we are
not alone in the universe.

It’s great
to see the mainstream world gather, discuss, and prepare for this possibility
and ultimate reality, and it’s a great segue to create more awareness about the
world of secrecy, the world’s within our world that deal with projects the
human race knows nothing about.

The
Other Probability – Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life Is Already Here

The
information below, which is from another article I wrote this year, is probably
old news for CE fans that regularly visit our site, but I thought it would
be fitting to share it again for our new readers. You can find more CE articles
on the UFO/Extraterrestrial topic by visiting our exopolitics section HERE.

In the
United States, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the
universe. Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of
life on other planets, while only seventeen percent think that there is not. A
quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extraterrestrial visitors have
already come to Earth and have been doing so for a long time. (source)

Here’s one
of them:

“Yes
there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the
universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” (source) (source) – Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force
Captain, and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell

There are
multiple reasons why the extraterrestrial question continues to gain
popularity. People are starting to ask questions about the world around them,
utilizing critical thinking and investigation. After thoroughly
researching this topic you will be hard-pressed to deny that we are
not alone, and we are being visited.

1. The
Size of the Universe

How often
do you look up into the night sky and wonder just how many stars, planets,
galaxies, and more are out there? Space has always been deeply fascinating to
scientists, philosophers, artists – just about everyone, in fact. What is
it about deep space that so forcefully grabs our attention? To think about
just how big the universe is can really put things into perspective.

Counting
the stars in the universe is like trying to count the number of sand grains on
a beach. It’s an effort in futility. Although estimates vary among different
experts, the general consensus is that there are at least between 100 billion
and 200 billion galaxies in our universe. Think about that for a moment, and
now throw in billions of stars in each galaxy! (source) This number could very easily be
in the trillions for all we know.

Take the
Milky Way Galaxy for example, which measures to about 120,000 light years
across (it would take light that many years to travel across the galaxy), and
contains up to 400 billion stars. (source)

Scientists
estimate that at least 10 billion habitable Earth-sized planets exist in the
Milky Way alone (which is, again, just 1 galaxy out of billions), but it’s
important to keep an open mind about the necessary conditions for life. Some
extraterrestrial lifeforms could require an entirely different environment in
order to thrive. Accordingly, all habitable planets do not necessarily need to be
Earth-like.

Given our
estimation of the size of the universe, or multiverse (whatever you want to
call it), odds are we are not alone.

The past
few years have seen a surge of whistleblowers coming out and saying some
pretty remarkable things. Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange
have received the most attention, but the reality is that there are hundreds of
whistleblowers who have come forward with verified credentials and backgrounds.
Mass surveillance and the security state are not the only things shocking
people around the world, it’s the fact that many of these whistleblowers claim
that we are not alone in the universe. They might be easy to ignore, too, if it
weren’t for the impressive backgrounds these people have in their
respected fields.

The first
one that comes to mind is Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, the
man responsible for unifying the Canadian Air Force, Army, and the Navy into
one united group now known as the Canadian Forces. For someone with such a
background to come out and make these extraordinary claims was pretty shocking
indeed, and definitely grabbed the attention of many people.

“Decades
ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading
and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as
a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. Trillions of
dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander
in chief have deliberately been kept in the dark.” (source)

“In one
of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation
flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very
concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around
and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they
investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that
four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands
of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially
since we invented the atomic bomb.” (source)

Paul
Hellyer isn’t the only one making extraordinary statements, at least a dozen
NASA astronauts have done the same. Just like Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s quote, other
astronauts have said some remarkable things. Let’s take a look at a
few examples.

“There
is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been
monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from
any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors
use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating
magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a
common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” (source) – Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA
astronaut and Princeton physics professor

“In my
opinion I think they were worried that it would panic the public so they
started telling lies about it. And then I think they had to tell another lie to
cover their first lie, now they don’t know how to get out of it. Now it’s going
to be so embarrassing to admit that all these administrations have told so
many untruths, it would be embarrassing getting out of it. There are
a number of extraterrestrial vehicles out there cruising around.” (source) – Gordon Cooper, Former NASA
astronaut, aeronautical engineer and test pilot.

One of the seven original
astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United
States.

The list
goes on and on, the latest in NASA Astronaut statements about UFOs came from
the 2005 International Space Station (ISS) Commander, Leroy Chiao. You can read
more about that HERE.

Here is a video of John Podesta, who was
recently appointed as councillor to Barack Obama, supporting UFO disclosure.

Some of the
most extraordinary statements about UFOs and extraterrestrials come from
persons who have held some of the highest positions known – those who would be
in a position to ‘know’ about possible extraterrestrial encounters

.

“Behind
the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned
about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to
believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe
Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)

“There
is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited
for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations.
Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of
rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by
tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former
Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO
Military Committee

” Everything
is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain,
as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently
working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international
exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From “UFOs
and the National Security State, Volume 2,″ written by Richard Dolan.

The list of
military whistleblowers is extensive, there are hundreds of them and hundreds
of quotes to choose from. To view military whistleblowers (with verified
backgrounds) give a press conference at The National Press Club about UFOs
deactivating nuclear weapons, click HERE. You can also look up Dr. Steven
Greer and the disclosure project.

The list of
quotes from all fields, from many people, is outstanding. I could literally
fill pages upon pages so I’ll stop here, I think you get the picture.

“There
is another way whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be
a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and
the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source) – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of
physics, University of Nebraska.

In this
clip, it seems he (Dr. Jack Kasher) is referring to FREE ENERGY.

“This
thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on
it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly,
I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that
I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been
interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air
Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman
of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)

3. The
Evidence of UFOs

Within the
past few years, dozens of governments have admitted to allocating resources and
having programs to study the UFO phenomenon. For instance, in Canada the RCMP,
Transport Canada, and the Department of National Defence recently admitted to
tracking UFOs and investigating them. (source) They’ve been doing it for years,
accumulating thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents. Many of these
documents have since been officially released.

HERE is the latest batch of UFO files
released from the United Kingdom.

Documents
released by the National Security Agency (NSA) reveal what is recorded when a
UFO is being tracked on radar. HERE is one example. HERE is a 4 page U.S. Defense
Intelligence Agency and NSA report describing a particular encounter in great
detail.

“As the
F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and
communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no
longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and
communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original
object. The second object headed straight toward the F4.”

HERE is a Wikileak cable that
describes how some politicians already know we are not alone in the universe.
You can read more about that HERE.

Thousands
upon thousands of UFO related documents are now available in the public domain.
For a summary of more documents that have been declassified and made available,
check out this 10 minute video by Richard Dolan, and see for yourself what type of
information is out there.

4. Mass
Mainstream Media Attention

Media
outlets of all kind are covering the topic, almost every movie that comes out
these days has something to do with space or some kind of extraterrestrial
intelligence. We’ve been bombarded with the topic for a while now, so it’s
easy to see why it’s on the minds of many.

The most
recent case of mainstream extraterrestrial ‘noise’ was made when scientists
spoke to the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Dan Werthimer of
the SETI Research Centre at the University of California, Berkeley, recently
called for more funding to be allocated to the search for extraterrestrial
life, since he is “close to 100 percent” certain that we are not alone. (source)

In mid
2013, the same committee held a hearing about exoplanet discoveries, but
perhaps one of the largest UFO/extraterrestrial hearings was at the
National Press Club, which also took place in mid-2013. At this event,
hundreds of researchers, activists, and military/agency/political witnesses
representing ten countries gave UFO/extraterrestrial testimony to six former
members of the United States Congress about events and evidence indicating an
extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.

Former Sen.
Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and 2008 presidential candidate said that there is “an
extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is
monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.” You
can learn more about the citizens hearing here.

Apart from
these events, UFOs are a constant topic of interest in today’s mainstream news.
Unfortunately, most mainstream media outlets seek to ridicule, rather than
investigate, the subject properly.

To view
military whistleblowers (with verified backgrounds) give a press conference at
The National Press Club about UFOs deactivating nuclear weapons, click HERE.

There are millions of people out there claiming
to have contact with extraterrestrial beings. This has played a large role in
spreading the influence of extraterrestrial interest across the world. All of
us seem to be naturally fascinated with the unknown, especially when it comes
to space. It is simply in our nature.

Neuroscience
can now explain what happens to our body when we meditate, but it’s something
we all knew to be beneficial before the science explained why. Is
extraterrestrial life similar? Is it something we all feel deep down inside,
something we don’t need proof for (though it does exist)?

Besides the
thousands of videos available on YouTube, there is some very fascinating
officially documented UFO footage available for us to see. Click HERE to see raw footage of a UFO
showing up in Norway for scientists at their observatory.

Click HERE to see film from the 1991 NASA
STS-48 Discovery Space Shuttle mission. It’s some of the best officially documented
UFO footage out there today.

HERE is a video that made headlines
once released. It came from straight front the Mexican Air Force. Do a quick
UFO search on YouTube and, while you’ll see many fakes, you’ll also find
many real videos of unknown aerial objects.

Final
Thoughts

A few years
ago the question was, “Do UFOs exist?” Today that question has been answered,
and the presence of UFOs performing maneuvers that defy our laws of physics has
been well documented. The question has more so shifted to, “Is that an
extraterrestrial spacecraft?”

It’s
nothing to fear, in my opinion they’ve been around forever. They
were aware of us long before we became aware of them. As speculated
with our ancient civilizations in Earth’s brief past, perhaps they will one day
interact with humanity again. I guess we will see.

Perhaps
some groups are concerned about our planet, and come here further pushing the
idea that we need to start changing the way we are doing things here. Perhaps
one day soon we will find out.

I
definitely believe that a good chunk of these UFOs are of extraterrestrial
origin. I also believe that many of these crafts are “ours.”
